Barclays’ global head of equities tactical strategies, Alex Altmann, declared US stocks are showing their strongest buy signal in nearly a year, suggesting the recent market downturn may have bottomed out. The bank’s Equity Timing Indicator (BETI) hit negative 8.3, its lowest since April 2025 during Trump’s tariff disputes, signaling a historically favorable entry point for investors. Altmann’s analysis aligns with bullish outlooks from Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, forming a Wall Street consensus that market conditions are improving after prolonged volatility. The BETI threshold has previously marked attractive buying opportunities, reinforcing confidence in a potential rebound despite lingering economic uncertainties. The note, shared with clients on March 17, 2026, underscores growing optimism among major financial institutions about equities’ near-term prospects.
